WELCOME

Welcome to the Fossett Laboratory for Virtual Planetary Exploration located at Washington University's Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing Laboratory.

The Fossett Laboratory supports the virtual exploration of planetary data through its immersive CAVE virtual reality system coupled with the extensive planetary data holdings in NASA's Planetary Data System's Geosciences Node also located in the Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing Laboratory.

The Fossett Laboratory is a generous gift from the late Steve Fossett, Washington University alumni and former Board of Trustees member.

Please feel free to look around.  Take a look at the vision to understand how the laboratory is used; look at the technology and software involved; and, finally, take a look at some of the recent projects.
